Another LEGO 2025 set has been revealed in the form of LEGO Art 31214 LOVE, based on the sculpture and artwork of artist Robert Indiana.

LEGO Art is leaning into the collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) again (technically) next year with a recreation of Robert Indiana’s iconic LOVE painting.

This painting was designed for their annual Christmas card in this colour scheme, but a sculpture of the artwork has also toured the world as part of a series created in 1970 (based on the Christmas card), most closely resembling the LEGO replica and likely acting as the inspiration for it.

The 791-piece 31214 LOVE will be available next year starting on January 1, 2025, for £69.99 / $79.99 / €79.99, but pre-orders are also open now. The completed build measures 25cm wide, tall, and 6cm deep.

Love is a battlefield. So this breaks LEGO's rules about sets related to war.

I can’t wait for my Love Lego set to come. I preordered this back in early November.
I am from Philadelphia and, we have this sculpture in what they call love park here.
Maybe when the weather breaks I can take a photo at the iconic sculpture here in Philadelphia.
Merry Christmas to all.

I’ve pre-ordered it and I can’t wait to love it. ❤

We have a Love statue here in Philadelphia. It was just given a face lift about two years ago.
BTW. Someone else has done the Love sculpture before Lego and, he used genuine Lego bricks to build this.
I think I had seen this on Etsy. I am sure I wasn’t the only one to see this.
I am contemplating this for myself as a Christmas gift.

really great deep dive! I didn't know much about the origins of this sculpture so this was interesting to hear

"Love Hurts" If you step on it.

3:09 that moment when you forget what you said literally seconds ago and repeat it

This is a very interesting approach to Lego set reviews. It won’t work with every one of them, but I really enjoyed the Endurance review and this one was worthwhile as well. Keep it up. You’re setting yourself apart from your contemporaries.

Yes! Somebody else who gets it! I only buy the Lego art sets that are actual pieces of art because I think that’s so cool. But nobody else seems to understand that 😂

I'm getting the set it's worth it

It's a shame LEGO® disqualified someone's model from a LEGO® Ideas contest a month ago just because they were about to release their own model.
